VM hanging repeatedly

I'm running a Redhat 7 VM in workstation on Windows Server 2012 R2. I get frequent hangs, where I'm unable to type anything into the command line, and attempts to suspend or force the VM to shut down do nothing. The only option I have is to go into task manager and kill the VMWare process, along with the VMWare workstation VMX process. I've attached the VM log, which I saved and attached while the VM was still frozen. This is on version 14.1.2 build-8497320

Will you please enable debug mode for VM >　Settings > Options > Advanced > Gather verbose USB debugging information? When the hang occurs, please create a minidump file the the running vmware-vmx process from Windows task manager > find the process > Create dump file? Please attach the .dmp file and vmware.log. Thanks a lot!

Sorry please enable debug mode from VM > Settings > Options > Gather debugging information set to Full (not Gather verbose USB debugging information).
